I took some pictures of all the HarperCollins current hardback Tolkien boxed sets. A very impressive addition to any Tolkien collection.

Especially impressive as Tolkien himself only managed to finish two books....

I would say three books, and one of them is not in that collection, Farmer Giles of Ham. 😍

I would add Smith of Wootton Major, also completed in Tolkien's lifetime.

My set finally arrived from Kenny's in Ireland. I often order from them as they pack well. Mine arrived in perfect condition with a strong outer box and the original HarperCollins protective box wrapped in bubble. Odd that HC have sent sets out without a protective box yet from a retailer I do get one.

I saw someone on Facebook say theirs had the protective box too. Wonder why mines didn’t

I had one of the recent deluxes (Biography, IIRC) without a box. Arrived fine, but either Kenny's had removed it from the HC box or it had not been supplied in one. Arrived undamaged, so wasn't a big deal. Letters, also from Kenny's, came in the box.
